This small ecolodge on a wonderful stretch of beach has four open-sided tree-house bandas nestled into the bush just back from the sea, plus comfortable ground-level beach bungalows and tasty, healthy cuisine. The owners have made great efforts to minimise the lodge's footprint and maximise sustainability. The overall results are impressive, with the lodge running on solar and wind power.

Saadani safaris, bush walks and other cultural excursions can be arranged. A minimum two-night stay is required.
